Does anyone else here get slight headache, slight dizziness and head pains that come and go. I get these weird head pains in my head, they feel like a pain right in the vein. But they only last a second. I have been having slight headaches off and on also. I get a little bit of dizziness with this as well. Does anyone else have anything similar? I had a CT scan with dye done last November and they say everything looks good.

I get head pain fairly often. I can't call it a 'headache'; more like nerve pain, I think. It's really miserable.


Mostly I get it anywhere from late September to late April. In fact, today I am dealing with it. Maybe it's sinus related, too(?)

 Also, I've had kind of a rough week for various reasons, so it may be somewhat stress related, too. I'm also frustrated I can't accomplish more, but we all know what fibro is like. sad


The pain I get is not in any certain area in my head--just kind of all over, and I feel it more when I move my neck. It's really difficult to accomplish much of anything when it hits.  Sometimes Neurontin helps.

I intend to ask my doctor about it when I go for my physical in a couple of months.  His 'side' specialty is headaches, so I'm hopeful! yeah


Occasionally, I get small bouts of dizziness, but I don't associate it with this head pain.

I hope you are better soon and the pain goes away permanently! Would it help to see a neurologist?

I get them also they come and go pretty quickly, actually scare you when they come so fast. Seems like they go in cycles I can have them on and off for weeks than none for months. I read they are called ice pick headaches. I agree with them being allergy related tough.

I also get headaches and migraines. Mine seem worse when it's wet or damp outside.

I hope you find relief in some way.

Best of Luck to you!

I get a fair share of seasonal allergy headaches. These are more facial. I get a fair share of tension headaches due to muscle spasms in neck. These are at the base of the skull. I get an occasional migraine. These are all over the head and are light, sound, and movement sensitive.

But the ones that come on suddenly and terribly sharp, then don't last long. Are very scary. My old Dr. Called them cluster headaches. Idk. I am just thankful they don't last that long. Wish they didn't come in "spells" and have found that only pressure helps. Maybe it's a fibro thing. I have Been having them since I was a teenager many years ago and my scans are still normal despite what my husband keeps saying !

YES. For me it's a sharp shooting pain that feels like someone is sticking an ice pick in my head. It's the reason they originally thought I had MS. It is miserable, and it literally stops me in my tracks. Sometimes after wards the brain fog is measurably worse. Of course no MRI or scan ever found anything.

I just LOVE this disease.
